Definitions
- the present invention relates to paper articles comprising wavelength converting material, to paper pulp for the production of such paper articles and to methods for the production of such paper articles.
- Common eye disorders associated with light scattering include cataract and cloudy vitreous body. These disorders cause a disruption of the highly organized structure of the lens and the vitreous body, respectively. This results in a sharp fluctuation in the index of refraction, causing light to be scattered within the eye. Individuals with cataract and/or cloudy vitreous body have cloudy, opacified lenses and/or cloudy vitreous body, causing visual disturbances, unusual sensitivity of light and glare, and impaired restoring of clarity and colour perception. Daily functions such as reading and writing become difficult or impossible due to blurred vision.
- Cataract and cloudy vitreous body usually affects old people; more than 50% of people over the age of 60 have some form of such a disorder, leading to readability problems.
- Another eye disorder is degeneration of the outer layer of retina and fovea centralis with associated gradually loss of visibility.
- myopia is a refractive defect of the eye in which light produces image focus at a point in front of the retina when accommodation is relaxed. A myopic person typically can see nearby objects clearly but distant objects appear blurred. Myopia afflicts 20 to 60 % of the adult population in the western world. Several studies have reported that near work, such as reading, is a major contributing factor in the development of myopia in children and young adults.
- a further object is to provide a paper article having improved properties in terms of readability for persons having cataract and cloudy vitreous body and having decreased tendency to induce myopia and prevent degeneration of the outer layer of retina.
- the present inventors have surprisingly found that a paper article according to the invention, having reduced reflection in the ranges 400 to 500 nm, and increased reflection in the range 500 to 600 nm has improved readability for persons suffering from cataract or cloudy vitreous body, and that such a paper will have preventive effect on the degeneration of the outer layer of the retina.
- the present invention provides a paper article comprising a short wavelength converting material being essentially homogenously distributed throughout the area of the paper article and having an absorption peak in the wavelength range of from 400 to 500 nm and an emission peak in the wavelength range of from 500 to 600 nm.
- a typical human eye typically only responds to wavelengths within the visible spectrum, which is defined as the portion of the electromagnetic spectrum having a wavelength range of from 400 to 700 nm. However, the eye responds more to some wavelengths of light than others, even within the visible spectrum.
- a light-adapted eye typically has its maximum accommodative capacity at about 555 nm, in the green-yellowish region of the optical spectrum.
- Light in the wavelength interval of from 400 to 500 nm causes a major portion of the disturbing light scattering effects leading to the impaired vision in persons suffering from cataract or cloudy vitreous body.
- these scattering effects are reduced, hence increasing the readability.
- the paper article will appear as being of a bright colour tone, which will further improve the readability of information printed on the paper article.
- the paper article may comprise a colorant being essentially homogenously distributed throughout the area of the paper article and having an absorption peak in the wavelength range of from 600 to 700 nm.
- Light in the wavelength interval of from 600 to 700 nm is at least partly responsible for inducing myopia.
- paper articles of the present invention will have a reduced tendency to induce myopia.
- the paper article Since light absorbed in the wavelength range 400 to 500 nm is converted by the wavelength converting material and is emitted as light in the wavelength range 500 to 600 nm, which range includes the wavelengths where the human eye has its maximum sensitivity, the paper article will appear as being of a bright colour tone, even though the reflection of light in the wavelength intervals 400 to 500 nm and 600 to 700 nm is reduced.
- a paper article comprising a colorant being essentially homogenously distributed throughout the area of the paper article and having an absorption peak in the wavelength range of from 600 to 700 nm forms a contemplated aspect of the invention.
- the paper article may also comprise glass micro spheres, which will increase the total reflection perpendicularly to the surface of the paper article.
- the present invention provides a method for the production of paper article of the present invention and paper pulp for use in the production of paper articles of the present invention.
- the present invention relates to a paper article comprising a wavelength converting material.
- the paper article may for example be in the form of, but is not limited to, printing paper, newspaper paper, magazine paper, book paper and the like.
- a preferred application of a paper of the present invention is as pages in a book, booklet or the like, where the sheets typically have a weight up to 120 g/m 2 .
- wavelength converting material and related terms, such as “wavelength converting compound”, refers to a material that absorbs light at a certain wavelength in order to emit light at another wavelength. Examples of such wavelength converting materials include fluorescent materials and phosphorescent materials. Upon absorption of light, electrons in the material become excited to a higher energy level. Upon relaxation back from the higher energy levels, the excess energy is released from the material in form of photons (light).
- the wavelength converting material of the invention should have an absorption peak in a wavelength range of from 400-500 nm, and an emission peak in a wavelength range of from 500 to 600 nm.
- Such wavelength converting material is hereinafter referred to as a "short wavelength converting material”.
- the human eye has its optimal accommodative capacity at wavelengths in the proximity of 555 nm. Resulting from this evolutionary effect is the increased accommodative demand placed on the eye during near work in an artificially illuminated environment, as artificial light generally comprises a higher intensity of red wavelengths, compared to natural daylight.
- the reduction of the intensity in the wavelength interval of blue-green light (400 to 500 nm) with the accompanying increment of the intensity in the green-yellow wavelength range (500 to 600 nm) results in a paper article where the reflected light has a the spectral distribution to which the eye more easily adapts.
- Light in the wavelength interval of from 400 to 500 nm causes a major portion of the disturbing light scattering effects leading to the impaired vision in persons suffering from cataract or and cloudy vitreous body.
- these scattering effects are reduced, hence increasing the readability.
- the light emission peak is in the wavelength range of 540 to 570 nm, and more preferably in the range of 550 to 560 nm.
- accommodation refers to the ability of the eye to alter its focus so that clear images of both close and distant objects can be formed on the retina.
- the paper article of the present invention comprises wavelength converting material in such amounts that the coefficient of reflection ⁇ R for a wavelength within the wavelength range of the emission peak of the short wavelength converting material, i.e. in the range of from 500 to 600 nm, preferably in the range of from 540 to 570 nm, is at least 0,9, preferably at least 1, such as at least 1,10, for example at least 1,20.
- the coefficient of reflection ⁇ R is defined as the ratio of the amplitude of the reflected wave and the amplitude of the incident wave.
- the short wavelength converting material may include one or more compounds.
- the short wavelength converting material may comprise only fluorescent compounds, only phosphorescent compounds or any mixture of fluorescent and phosphorescent compounds, to achieve the absorption peak in the range of from 400 to 500 nm, and the emission peak in the range of from 500 to 600 nm.
- the short wavelength converting material and thus the wavelength converting compounds, may be fluorescent and/or phosphorescent.
- the concentration of the short wavelength converting compound(s) is selected to achieve the desired physical and optical properties of the paper article.
- the concentration depends on, for example, the absorbance and the quantum yield of the wavelength converting compound.
- the wavelength converting material may be added to the paper in the paper forming process.
- the wavelength converting material may be comprised, and essentially evenly distributed, in the fibrous cellulosic web constituting the paper base.
- the wavelength converting material may also be comprised in a surface-binding layer of the paper article, or in a surface coating layer of the paper article.
- the paper article comprises, in addition to the wavelength converting material discussed above, a colorant having an absorption peak in the range of from 600 to 700 nm.
- the colorant may be a purely absorbing colorant, or may alternatively comprise a wavelength converting material, hereinafter referred to as a "long wavelength converting material", for example a fluorescent and/or phosphorescent colorant having an emission peak above 700 nm, i.e. outside the visual wavelength range.
- the long wavelength converting material has an emission peak in the wavelength range of from 500 to 600 nm.
- Figure 3 illustrates the spectral distribution of reflected light from a paper article comprising a combination of the colorant and the short wavelength converting material discussed above, which may be obtained in this preferred embodiment of the invention.
- a paper article comprising a colorant having an absorption peak in the range of from 600 to 700 nm forms a contemplated aspect of the invention.
- the absorption of light in the wavelength range 600 to 700 nm leads to a reduced reflection of light in this wavelength range.
- the combination of the colorant, absorbing light in the wavelength range 600 to 700 nm, with the short wavelength converting material discussed above, absorbing light in the wavelength range 400 to 500, and emitting light in the wavelength range 500 to 600 nm, is thus beneficial, both in terms of increased readability for people suffering from cataract or cloudy vitreous body and in terms of reduced tendency of inducing myopia and degeneration of retina.
- the absorption of light in the range 600 to 700 nm leads to a darkening of the paper article.
- the short wavelength converting material increases the reflection of light in the wavelength range near the wavelengths of maximum accommodation for the eye, i.e. 500 to 600 nm, the paper will still be perceived as having an acceptable colour tone, on which paper text and other information can be printed.
- the paper article when the paper article only comprises a colorant having an absorption peak in the wavelength range of 600 to 700 nm, the paper article will have a slightly dark colour. However, when the colorant comprises a long wavelength converting material having an emission peak in the range 500 to 600 nm, the paper will be perceived as having an acceptable colour tone.
- the paper article comprises wavelength converting material in such amounts that the coefficient of reflection ⁇ R is at least 0,9, preferably at least 1, such as at least 1,10, for example at least 1,20, for a wavelength within the wavelength range of the emission peak of the short wavelength converting material, i.e. in the range of from 500 to 600 nm wavelength range, preferably in the range of from 540 to 570 nm.
- paper articles of the present invention for purposes of treating myopia, such as to prevent the onset of myopia, to prevent progression of myopia and to therapeutically treat myopia, form an especially contemplated aspect of the present invention.
- treatment refers to both preventive and therapeutic treatment.
- fluorescent and/or phosphorescent colorants that have an absorption peak in the wavelength range of from 600 to 700 nm and an emission wavelength peak in the wavelength range of above 700 nm are known to those skilled in the art.

- the glass micro spheres may be contained in the paper article at a concentration of up to 24 % by weight of the paper article.
- the glass micro spheres are essentially homogenously distributed throughout the area of the paper article.
- the glass micro spheres may be arranged essentially homogenously throughout the thickness of the paper article or may be concentrated in a certain layer of the paper article, such as a top layer or an intermediate layer.
- a paper article of the present invention may further comprise pigments, dyes and other additives as commonly used in the art of paper manufacturing.
- a paper article of the present invention can be manufactured by standard paper making methods and processes, where the above described short wavelength converting material and/or colorant is/are added to or contained in the paper pulp to be processed into paper articles, or can be added in the paper making process, or added as a surface application to the paper article formed by said paper making process.
- a typical paper making process includes the steps of providing a paper pulp, forming an aqueous slurry containing the paper pulp, forming a wet sheet of the aqueous slurry, and drying the wet sheet into a paper article, such as a paper sheet.
- the process may additionally contain many intermediate steps, such as rolling steps, which are commonly known to those skilled in the paper manufacturing.
